BACKGROUND
Born the son of a British Army officer, it was taken as read that Bishop would follow in his father’s footsteps and join the army. Unlike his father though, Bishop didn’t wait until he could obtain a commission, and enlisted at the age of 17 into the REME. However, although he enjoyed the lifestyle of deploying to hot-spots around the world, he found the work boring and, after 4 years service he applied to join the Special Air Service. Passing through selection training with relative ease, Bishop found that this was the life he was looking for.

Bishop, so called because of his place of birth, still serves with the SAS and, like most within the Regiment, can be called upon by Britian’s Intelligence agencies from time to time.
